His newest book talks about how a fictional defense contractor uses war and terrorism to increase his bottom line. Even hiring PR experts to help out.

Concurrent with the publishing, the Pentagon is exposed for using PR experts to gloss up Iraq. The industry is not happy with the coincidence.

Is this a coincidence:

Amazon may be protecting themselves from excessive scrutiny. Think about how often oppressive regimes ban and burn inciteful books. You can bet that when martial law visits Amerika, there will be heavy book censorship.

I've been banned from political boards for joking once, for mentioning Juu's and for mentioning the newest book on the Bilderbergers (who are meeting in D.C. in about 1.5 weeks or so).

I LOVE DAVID BALDACCI! HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS, RIGHT UP THERE WITH LEE CHILD! I've been working my way through all of his books. Right now, I'm reading The Hour Game. While I was on vacation, I read The Collectors. I've yet to read The Camel Club and several of his other works.

I also love his writing. I can assure you that David has an across the board low opinion of Washingtonian maneuvers, perhaps especially defence contractors.

As a person of great intellect and fine moral standing, you may also rest assured that David is aghast at the Bushbarians.

I used to post on his chat board but seem to have been deleted when he got his new web page. I took the Oliver Stone handle right out of his Camel Club series...which I truly enjoy.
